If you go to the homepage of this website, and click through the posts you find there, you will quickly notice that nearly a year ago I posted a piece called, 'The Great Umbrella Miracle.'

After that...

Silence.

The day I left Korea, I permanently closed the book on a chapter that spanned two years of my life. I left behind my job, my friends, my everyday habits, even my concept of self as it existed in that time and place.

I also left behind any and all desire to write in this blog. I boarded my flight to Istanbul, and suddenly had nothing to say.

As I move through my final days in Korea, I frequently find myself considering those first three days after I arrived. Meeting my new co-workers, getting introduced to my school, and seeing my new apartment all for the first time - I remember all of that as though it were yesterday.

On a deeper level, I find myself preoccupied with the idea of a circle. Life is full of them, and the closer I get to the close of this particular circle, the more I think about the beginning.

At this point, I'm sure it's clear that I am a bit in love with travel. I live in a foreign country, I go on international trips every few months, and I spend the majority of my down time writing, reading, or thinking about the next adventure.

Even after I moving to Korea, travel was in my heart, but hadn't yet consumed it.

Then, one day, everything changed. The exact moment is etched on my memory, a stark tattoo, a permanent testament to my newfound perspective. I remember the moment where my life shifted: where I gained new priorities, a new outlook, and a whole new center of gravity.
